shevs - it makes me chuckle how u put clean your bunnies cage on this list everyday. I think I need to put FEED my bunnies on my list as they're lucky to get that!

guys - dont get me started on the subject of weight. I started a slender 9 stone and have retained a stone with each pregnancy. Now I'm 6 mths preg with number 3 and feeling like a hippo at 13stone. I've also devleoped horrendous cellulite I must do something about it after this one is born as we're not having any more so i can reclaim my body back for me

shevs- imagine yourself at the gig, beer in hand - how great will you feel that all your jobs are done and theres nothing waiting for you tomo! Heck, you could even have some relax time - now there's a thought!

Hi everyone

Tigger, baby is due 18th November....a week tomorrow :eek:

Jamtart, the last bit of weight is the hardest to loose, I agree!! well done so far and another well done for keeping it off :T Im going to treat myself to a wii fit after baby is born and try get myself back in shape :rolleyes:

Been into town today and seen a lovely fluffy pink xmas tree, only 2ft (i think) but fibre optic, Im considering getting it for the girls for their bedroom.....am I going too OTT ?? Nah I dont think so, its only £12 too

Have to pick the kids up now but ill be back with my list for this week (even though im starting abit late)

today - am going to -
[STRIKE] album the photos[/STRIKE]
book panto tickets
put some items on ebay



ladies - how come we're on page two!!

Has anyone else seen the thread about advent hampers? The idea is to have a little gift for each day of advent. I'm going to put mine under the tree one at a time (from the elves) for my little ones. Just small thing - xmas books/socks/crafty bits etc but I thought it was a nice way to stretch the magic!

tigger888 the cards I gave out were for some family and some of their friends that I send to. They all groaned at me and said I had done the same last year!! couple said they had meant to do the same but hadn't been organised!

I gave my first 2 presents out in October and will be giving another 4 this weekend so the organised plan really helps o get it all together!!

I'm going to look at my list tomorrow and try and finalise the last few presents to get. I had a grea ridea for my cousin a mini sex and the city hamper based around the dvd but she already has it so I might have to open it and watch it myself!! Might see if any of the girlies want to come round with a bottle of wine and watch it with me!!
